Change this code:

Code Select Expand

echo '<li>'.$my['link'].'</li>';

To this:

Code Select Expand

echo '<li style="padding-bottom: 8px">'.$my['link'].'</li>';

Change the number 8 to what you need.

Code Select Expand

global $context, $scripturl, $settings, $txt;
$bullet = '<img src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/TPdivider.gif" alt="" border="0" style="margin:0 2px 0 0;" />';

$result=ssi_recentTopics_Include(10,array(32),'return');

foreach($result as $my){
  echo "$bullet";
  echo '<li style="padding-bottom: 8px">'.$my['link'].'</li>';

  // is this topic new? (assume they are logged in)
if (!$my['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])
        echo ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?topic=', $my['topic'], '.from', $my['new_from'], '#new"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a>';
echo '<br />';

}
echo '</span>';

This is the code to put the bullets in the box, left aligned, and also add the "new" graphic for new posts:

Code Select Expand


$result=ssi_recentTopics(10,array(15),'return');
echo'<right>';
echo '<ul style="padding-left: 15px;">';
foreach($result as $my){
echo '<Li>'.$my['link'].'</Li>';
if(!$my['new'])
echo '<a href="'.$my['href'].'"><img border="0" src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/'.$context['user']['language'].'/new.gif" alt="new" /></a> ';
}
echo '</UL>';
echo'</center>';
echo '<span class="smalltext"></span>';

Code Select Expand

echo '<Li>'.substr($my['link'], 1, 20).'</Li>';

Start with character 1 and end with character 20.

[alhaudhie]

I have try a several way to put

Code Select Expand

echo '<Li>'.substr($my['link'], 1, 20).'</Li>';

in

Code Select Expand

$result=ssi_recentTopics(10,array(15),'return');
echo'<right>';
echo '<ul style="padding-left: 15px;">';
foreach($result as $my){
echo '<Li>'.$my['link'].'</Li>';
if(!$my['new'])
echo '<a href="'.$my['href'].'"><img border="0" src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/'.$context['user']['language'].'/new.gif" alt="new" /></a> ';
}
echo '</UL>';
echo'</center>';
echo '<span class="smalltext"></span>';

but its still fail...

[IchBin]

Perhaps you could explain what "but its still fail..." means? I have no idea what you are seeing or not seeing. Please explain.

BTW, what is this?

Code Select Expand

echo'<right>';

Never seen an HTML tag for right.
